Saturday afternoon at the Bain Waterworks

Please accept the usual apologies for my extreme negligence in failing to maintain this blog properly. We - especially me, since I do the writing here - have been extremely busy (not a real excuse, I know) for the past few weeks. More importantly, we haven't done much of interest lately. I don't really feel a strong compulsion to write or post photos when nothing of any real importance or interest has happened. Things have happened, now that I think about it - last weekend our friends Charlotte and Loren came over and we plunged into the chilly river behind our home. Bronwen put some pictures up on her Flickr account - you can check them out.

But this week - oh, boy. It was amazing! We visited the Bain Waterworks - a defunct old waterworks facility that has been cleaned up and touched up by a dedicated crew of artists. There were so many little details, so many heavy machines, industrial gears and pipes, switches, levers and peeling paint that we could have spent several more hours there just taking pictures. As it was, we took 197 photos between the two of us. It was wild and crazy fun. One of the most entertaining and unique experiences I've had since living here.
